What Brought You to MGTOW?

[AttonParticipant]

I saw women I saw what they did to other women, I saw the chauvinism the,bigotry and hypocrisy. Then I saw bar bar and that was the end of it I went full MGTOW. Best learn from the mistakes of others than make them yourself.

A MGTOW is a man who is not a woman's bitch!

The short version: Patrice O’Neal talks on the Opie and Anthony Show and his Black Phillip Show and then coming into contact with Bar Bar and all the others followed soon after, like Spetsnaz and Stardusk/Thinking-Ape, TFM, etc….

your reason & my reason are almost exactly the same. I kept my own counsel for years & then had an extended conversation with a guy who just got out of a ltr & he said after listening to me. you belong in mgtow. check it out. i did & was both surprised & happy that there is a community of likeminded men.

Laying in bed fed up with the life I’ve gotten myself into, a google search for “lazy good for nothing wife” led me here. I browsed around the forums a bit and watched some of the recommended videos, “All The Way” really struck a chord with me.

I think I joined the next day. MGTOW is the only way to go at this point in my life. Marriage has done nothing beneficial for me. I’ll never have anything or accomplish any of my personal goals being tied to some woman who’s only concerned about advancing her’s and her kids’ lives via the resources I bring to the table.

My happiness comes first from now on and self preservation is a must.

Greetings Gentlemen. I have a question for you. What brought you to this website? Also, what made you join the community here?

I myself was helping a good friend through a divorce. He was having his blue pill world turned upside down. It took some time and some patience on my part but he eventually got through his rough patch and came out stronger. Later on he called me and told me about this thing called MGTOW. At first I didn’t really listen because he finds obscure stuff sometimes that isn’t relevant to my life at all. But he insisted, he told me that a lot of the stuff that I was telling him was well within the MGTOW universe. So being a friend it was only fair, he listen to me for so long and now it was time for me to reciprocate. Oh and I had turned him on to Tom Lykes. So here I am, one of many.

well for me it was series of events of women using me for different reasons, I can only to my defense that at least I didn’t let any money grabber into my life and pushed that type away. yet I did find out that one was really interested in that.

anyway the thought that I’m better off alone started when after 6 years alone, I’d decided to try dating again and eventually ran into a woman who used me for an emotional tampon for an entire year while hiding her marriage, she was then followed but few other women who sort of f~~~ed me up.

a few months ago I went through very serious crises and eventually came out from it Angry and in a red pill rage

Sum of what I’ve experienced. seeing girls make my life hell growing up bc I was a black kid in honors classes, being thrown away like used tissue when a chick found someone loaded and reading MGTOW while having a nagging,useless chick next to me. Tasting the red pill with your muse next to you is interesting

I’ve been able to identify all of these behaviors we speak frequently on now a mile away now and avoid the b.s.

My money is my money, I work and live for me, my dad, my bros and my sister. That’s it.

Chase a check, never chase a chick...

My most recent ex girlfriend was the catalyst. She was a controlling, manipulative, and angry person. I started searching for information about people like her and found the term MGTOW. It wasn’t long until I found this site after that.

For me, it began with my quest to get a girlfriend. I was looking for some happiness and I wished some sweet, sexy ladies would provide that for me. I dated many women, but they got bored with me. I wanted to figure out what I was doing wrong so the relationships would last. So I read books about romantic relationships. Then I found PUA websites and ordered their books and ebooks (I read The Mystery Method—a very annoying book). Those were my first red pills. They revealed who I was: needy and desperate for companionship and sex. It was humiliating for someone to reveal all the dating mistakes I’ve made. I was completely clueless about “the game.” That’s why I lost. I got lucky a few times despite my ignorance, though.

I watched a lot of PUA videos on YouTube. Again, they kept telling me why I didn’t score with women. I wasn’t bold enough. I didn’t have the right attitude. My clothes looked cheap. Blah, blah, blah. Then I discovered Tom Leykis videos. He had a lot of red pills—-not just about women, but about life. At first, I thought he was just a jerk. But the more I listened to him, the more I realized that he was telling the truth. I just couldn’t accept the harsh truth. I wanted to live in a blue pill fantasy.

The Tom Leykis videos led me to MGTOW videos on YouTube. These videos (Sandman, Barbarossa, Turd Flinging Monkey, etc.) really had a dramatic effect on me. The red pills were more potent. They showed me how deep the rabbit hole goes. It goes on forever. There was still a part of me that kept saying, “I don’t believe this,” but I couldn’t deny the truth. I had to spend a lot of time pondering their words of wisdom before going my own way. The truth hurts, but it’s also helpful. It’s like a compass for navigating my way through social situations.

They say misery loves company. I do get some comfort from meeting other men on this forum who write, “Really? The same thing happened to me!” That lets me know that my negative dating experiences were more about the reality we shared and not just about me. In other words, I’m not totally f~~~ed up. I just didn’t realize how f~~~ed up the world actually is.

Beyond that, I hate living in a society that shames me for what I lack (money, social status, educational degrees, job skills, a girlfriend) and demands responsible behavior while giving a pass to other members of my society who choose to be lazy and ignorant. I’ve always hated double standards. I’ve always hated taking the higher road when I get into conflicts with other people, but I know that’s the best thing to do. I can’t let my emotions get the best of me. It’s the burden of my life. If none of us were willing to do what is right and just, what would become of our world?

I saw that I could put an end to your outrages by pronouncing a single word in my mind. I pronounced it. The word was ‘No.’" (Atlas Shrugged)

After 25 years of being asked “why are you not married? you’re going to die alone “, I googled “don’t get married”. I came across multiple links and videos with the MGTOW acronym. I did my research and …voila. I’m home.

Naive you are if you're hoping to find your unicorn in Latin America. The brain-eating bacteria of feminism is everywhere. Give up!

I found this site because of an internet search on a term that was discussed on a forum thread and I started looking around and read a lot of things that resonated with me and also read a lot of things by guys that are blaming everyone else for what was obviously their own mistakes and felt compelled to insert my opinion where it wasn’t needed or wanted.

The thread that got me started was the one written by a guy who posted a long letter to his wife about how she basically ruined his life when it was obvious by reading between the lines that he completely missed the boat and he had plenty of opportunity to make things right but he either didn’t see it or didn’t care so all he does is talk about all the stuff he “did for her” when none of that BS really matters.

After all the women I have witnessed doing evil, those that murdered friends or abused them to the point of mental breakdown and suicide. Those women who justify anything evil they do as being a mans fault. Its all about the patriarchy and other invisible villains.

How could any man in his right mind in this day and age not want to be a MGTOW in practice and name?

Women are psychos, not fit for companionship, motherhood, or the title of “adult”.

Dam them all.

"Women have become so full of hatred that they are blind to reason and humanity. That which they practice will be the end of humanity, long before any war that men may fight.." "Women are predators by nature. Why else do you think they are so quick to gang up and go after a man they hate for showing any sign of weakness?"

The constant bias/bigotry against me because of my gender particularly where raising my 3 boys is concerned. The courts, schools, and almost every other institution do not recognize the importance of the father’s role in child rearing and as a single parent it presents ridiculousness beyond comprehension.

Beyond that, every day when I turn on the tv, I get to learn what a jerk I am for being a “white male”. This “jerk” employs 10 people, provides support (financial and otherwise) to a variety of charities and the list goes on.

What brought me to MGTOW? The so called love of my life going to a party and getting f~~~ed by every guy there. Sending me a I’m so sorry message on facebook. Then dumping me two weeks later for a chump she met at a bar. And then years later hit me up just to tell me she’s engaged to my clone. And the second chick being a complete basket case who had daddy issues to a whole new level. Then this past election with all these SJW’s feminists coming out of the woodwork and degrading this fine country of mine. I only found this website a few days ago. I only wish I’d had found it sooner. But better late than never I suppose.

No one knows the true worth of a man.

It is really weird to me to think about coming to MGTOW. I have always had mgtow-like qualities. When I was in the military, I would prioritize going to the gym and lifting over going out and potentially getting laid. I have always known that marriage was a bad deal for men and that children for me could be a detriment. (I didn’t know just how bad it was but I had a sense of it.) That is just a couple examples but I must say that I didn’t know there was a name for it.

I still was pretty blue-pilled unfortunately as I let someone I met online move in with me.

After the break-up, I typed in the google bar…”Marriage is a raw deal for men.” I did this just for reassurance that I was on the right path in my thoughts of never marrying. I think I found the article about “The Sexodus” on mgtow.com and I started reading more on this site and found the general views on women mirrored my own.

I really thought I was the only one who thought the way that I do but I am glad I was mistaken.

First, 33 years service in the US Army. Since the first Gulf War I’ve seen the military emasculated because of the need for women and LGBTQ’s to obtain entitlements, and resultant positions, that weaken the Armed Forces and put soldiers lives at risk. This has only gotten worse since 9/11. This was not an issue prior to DS/DS as there were no individual mobilizations which meant that there was not a significant personnel turnover, so women could not get into many fields.

If I lived near you Greg BO, I would buy you a beer. I feel we think a lot alike. I too have witnessed the emasculation of the military (mandatory EEO training). It’s funny to hear someone else mention that.

[Force of Nature 225Participant 93]

Not to hijack the thread but this topic is really interesting to me. Props to the OP for a very good topic.

I find it curious to all of the gentleman who started out using PUA tactics before eventually going to MGTOW. I also delved in PUA (had some success but found it exhausting and unsustainable). It is almost like PUA is a last ditch effort to have relations with women.
